Club Menage a Quatre or simply Club M4 to close friends, is set to open their doors for the first time on Saturday, June 7th, 2008 @ 8pm. The party will include a full diner buffet as well as 10,000 square feet of space for you to party in. They boast of having a locker room with full size lockers, on-site parking, multiple play rooms as well as group play areas, two poles and a private art gallery. The site seems to be a work in progress as the image gallery and video gallery are not functional as of this writing and the rest of the information is sparse at best. But who could blame them, who has time to update and promote a grand opening event on the web when they are probably madly making last minute preparations to have the club ready for the big Saturday party. Oh, one last thing, for those non french speaking readers, Menage a Quatre simply means a ‘Foursome’ in french, now you know.

A reader from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada writes in to ask if every swing club is theme happy like their local club Intimate Times. The message goes on to say that it is quite a nice club with a good crowd but they could sure use a break from the constant barrage of theme nights. A quick look at their calendar also shows a blatant disregard for copyright laws in regards to using so many well known images to promote their events but I digress. To be honest, this author could not locate a single party that was not tied to some kind of theme. Also, on a more puzzling note, the message went on to say that apparently the DJ is lost in a world of his own, headbanging to music only known to a select few and groaning at the thought of playing a request for mainstream music. Maybe it’s just us, but doesn’t the DJ make or break a club in many big cities around the world? One final warning, this site is being built like those bad home sites from the late 90s and is really hard on the eyes…blinking text, highlighted text, underlined text that aren’t click-able, bad backgrounds, and when is the last time you saw frames on a site lol? Surely this is being done on purpose to achieve some kind of nostalgic image, I refuse to believe that this is a serious website and should be taken as comic relief for it’s members.

Have your say, give us your comments on theme nights at swingers clubs….like ‘em or leave ‘em?

Alright so it’s not really Neil Diamond that you will see in this preview video courtesy of the Las Vegas Red Rooster website. But when in Vegas you expect to be entertained and Terry Archer is the best Neil Diamond impersonator, so you should not miss his shows running from Thursday through Saturdays only at the Red Rooster. This famous club hosts parties seven nights a week and has been hosting private parties since the early eighties so you can be sure they understand what it takes to run a swingers party. Go read an older article from the Review Journal: Red Rooster swingers club gains national reputation for giving people a good time to get some insight on the club owners Mike and Chris Borchers.

One last thing, if you don’t read the article you will miss the best swingers warning we’ve ever seen: (more…)

Paul Stocker says that he saw Josef Fritzl and his wife at a swingers club by the name of Caribik (translated to English), near Amstetten Austria, in the late 90s. Now the rest of the world probably would just read this story and frown without spotting the questionable content. His wife watched in a corner while he had sex with a younger woman?!? Excuse me, but unless European clubs work differently than North American clubs who is this young lady that was so in need that she chose Josef over the zillion other single guys available that night? A little more detail is available from the story published in the Sun. So many questions, but man it goes to prove that even normal looking swingers can be freaks, weirdos, or plain insane in the brain…caveat emptor.

That’s the topic of this poll published on the pollmonkey.com website and the findings are interesting to say the least. The first thing you should notice is that because almost 4 thousand people have voted, this is most likely a close proximity to the opinions in any town. Over half of the voters were either in favour of opening a swingers club in their town or didn’t care either way as it wasn’t their business. One can only guess that the religiously headstrong few that voted against are slowly losing their grip on so called morality. Down with Vanilla’s who speak out against us I say lol!

It’s not often that I poke fun at people, but it’s going to start today because I am just beside myself at the ignorance of some folk. First, the story and then on to down right stupidity that Orange County Register readers post as comments. Gary Nalder and Robin Wood are moving their club and down-sizing, so the ‘estate’ has been put up for sale on craigslist.  Club Amnesty (the website is currently offline) is yet another tragic shutdown by the powers that be but the readers oh my how they show their ignorance. spitzer09 is just off her rocker and has absolutely no clue to what real life is really like and audiogirl would have us believe that a swingers story is not news just because it holds no interest for her. Well audiogirl, I guess the fact that we’ve covered it here and a Google news search finds 10 sources for the story means it’s enough of a news story after all. Finally, ocnikki brought up a good point, what would a ‘club’ need a 600 pound ice maker for? I mean, duh who needs to make 600 lbs of ice using little dinky ice trays? While these simpletons are gossiping about what goes on behind closed doors, at least the rest of us are enjoying our lives, having great sex rather than speculate about how it must be to swing. Things that make you go hmmm…

The author gives you a break-down of all the sex and swingers club in the Washington, DC, USA area. Zach Everson has a way with words and creates a city sex guide including locations on a Google map that rivals all others this reviewer has come across. The author makes a note about the clubs all self describing themselves as being classy…skip to the comment section and you’ll know just what one reader’s version of classy is. The guide begs to be copied in other cities or even have this great format turned into a book series based on every country where you can find swingers. Read The Sex and Swingers Clubs of the DC Area, published on a very interesting site called gridskipper, the urban travel guide.

Lynnwood, Washington is where you will find the New Horizons swingers resort. Wednesday night potluck parties and they also include a continental breakfast for guest staying overnight. Some of the ammenitites you will find here on location are large multi-leveled main dining room, three large dance floors, one indoor and one outdoor hot tub, showers, changing area, lockers, video room, conversation pit with fireplace, massage table, many couples also enjoy sunbathing on the beautiful grounds during long weekend parties. Guest visiting from outside the Pacific Northwest are not required to become members.

Ft Lauderdale, Florida residents are one lucky bunch as they get to attend Wednesday evening events at the local lifestyle Trapeze club. With gourmet buffet including breakfast as well and seating if you are in the mood for dining. It is however a BYOB club and they do enforce a strict dress code except on casual Sundays. Open and private party rooms, lounge, lockers, shower, valet parking, dance floor, DJ with big powerful sound system…it’s 6000 sq. feet of party space! They have a newsletter and a section devoted to highlighting members who offer services to other members which is very cool, bonus points on that idea.

A Dallas, Texas swingers club located in a suburban home in Duncanville, has angered the local residents, but what else is new. Even though Maple Swingers are all for swingers clubs, we have an issue with anyone operating an illegal business, so we hope they can sort out their legal woes in the near future. Newsweek has an article discussing the issues that the neighbours and owners of the Cherry Pit swingers club, Jim Trulock and Julie Norris are facing. You can also view the fine collection of news coverage that the club has attracted and when CNN covers your business, it can’t be all that bad.

It’s just beyond me how people can protest a swingers club in their neighbourhood when there are thousands of worthy causes that need volunteers with a lot of spare time on their hands. It may be wrong to be a swinger, but it sure feels right to us! On to the story, The Hunt Club of Brevard, located in Melbourne, Florida is getting some attention in the media because of nosey neighbours. You can read the shortest story ever published or actually read a full article about the protest.

Chateau de View was located in Pueblo, Colorado and operated by Dorian Lieto, formerly known as ‘The Hideaway Resort’. His oldest daughter is currently in the process of taking donations as this club was not only for swingers parties, but also the home of his family. It’s times like these that the swingers community need to reach in their pockets and help keep the lifestyle alive in Colorado. You can visit the club’s former website which has now been replaced by a letter form Dorians Daughter. Greg and Sheryl’s interracial swinging blog has a bit more insider information and you can also read some news coverage which includes video.

A swingers club opening should make the news and this story is no different, read this BBC Story entitled: Fears over village swingers’ club and another story entitled: Swingers’ Clubs Complaints from the This is Cornwall website. Located in north Devon, UK, Club Vanilla owner Roger Stanbury said the premises in Horswell near Bishops Tawton are fulfilling a need in the area. We think that it may attract non lifestyle people by mistake based on it’s name, but make no mistake, this is a swingers club. Complete with erotic areas, a jacuzzi, dance floor, DJ, exotic floor show and a themed cocktail on arrival.

Never heard of Alisa Gould-Simon before, but she does a great job giving us a break down of the New York city swinger’s club scene. Because we live in a time zone further west, visiting NYC was honestly never on our radar. But you know what, after reading this blog post, we suddenly have an urge to visit all the over-rated tourist attractions just so we can partake in some lifestyle action on Broadway.

We can’t speak for the past (read: before Internet) but have friends who have been in the lifestyle longer than the Internet has been around. They confirm that it was very difficult if next to impossible to actually make good connections. Maybe that’s why now that most of us like minded people have a computer that businesses have caught on that offering adult themed venues to spend our money will not be a waste. Cruises, resorts, camping, conventions, clubs, magazines, websites, books, DVDs, pod-casts, help, advice, how-to’s and the list goes on for all the products and services now available to swingers from all walks of life. This news story ‘Swingers Are Growth Business for U.S. Firms‘ was written in the summer of 2007 but still relevant.

Couples International has made headlines lately because of changes to their business type. The clubs owners Bryan and Leesa Horn are trying to have their venue recognized as more of a nightclub type than your typical swingers club. It is still a place where adults can come to have sex if they so choose. A blog called: Emily Everywhere has lots of discussion on this as well as a video interview with the club owners. It’s always nice to see what the regular folks think about swingers once they go beyond the stereotypes. You can read an article as well as view the club’s website.

I have heard of Wichita, Kansas before as I’m a bit of a geography buff, but to be honest, I had to check an online map to find out where it is. Let’s just say that if a Canadian were to drive straight south from Winnipeg, Manitoba he would hit Wichita as soon as he got just below the mid-way point in the USA…in other words in the middle of nowhere. Four undercover police officers made the arrest at a west end club (Paul’s Place). Just makes you wonder how long they spent watching before deciding to put an end to the fun? You can read the very short and not much actual news story here.
